“Don’t want any gringo here.”

Pied Piper of P.C.

Neeever mind.

P.C. run amok, part 423,997.

If any of you followed my work at the Seattle Times, you know how closely I covered the battle against government racial preferences in Washington state. You may remember that Washington passed Initiative 200 to ban government racial preferences in public hiring and education. Despite massive establishment opposition (led by my then-publisher), the measure was [...]

NBC is hiring a “diversity leader.” What kind of “diversity?” Not ideological diversity, of course. In America’s newsrooms, “diversity” is only and always skin-deep. Here’s the announcement (hat tip- ICN):

If racial/ethnic bean-counting is the task at hand, NBC’s “diversity leader” will be training her sights first on MSNBC. By the left-wingers’ own tallying, MSNBC [...]

An important media advisory from the AAJA: Only they can use ethnic descriptors. Everyone else: Back off!
Too.
Ridiculous.
Reader Doug in Colorado writes:
Unbelievable. If there were any consistency, they would be lauding the fact that he made great strides in bringing greater diversity to the ranks of mass murderers, a segment in which the Asian-American community [...]

I watched about 10 minutes of the Oscars–enough to absorb the self-congratulatory, aren’t-we-all-special-and-so-diverse theme and the unanimous Al Gore-is-our-president adulation.
Allah’s got running commentary, video, and an open thread over at Hot Air.

Columbia University junior and Marine corporal Matt Sanchez has a must-read in today’s NYPost:
DiD you hear the one about the Marines that Columbia University invited to campus for Fleet Week?
Not any time in the last few decades, you didn’t.
But you might have heard the one about the Marine who was told by a fellow Columbia [...]

The Grassroot Institute has released a survey of every household in Hawaii. The survey, conducted from July 8 to 10, 2005, and released yesterday, shows an estimated two out of every three responednts oppose the Akaka Bill aka the Native Hawaiian Government Reorganization Act of 2005. According to the Hawaii Reporter:
The poll, which attempted to [...]

According to a new poll, only 20 percent of Hawaiians support the Native Hawaiian Government Reorganization Act of 2005 (aka “the Akaka Bill”), which would give Native Hawaiians the rights of self-government as indigenous people that American Indians now enjoy. 41 percent of those polled said they do not support the bill and 39 percent [...]

Lawrence Downes of the New York Times writes in support of the Native Hawaiian Government Reorganization Act of 2005, S.147, which would give Native Hawaiians the rights of self-government as indigenous people that American Indians now enjoy.
Downes suggests the bill precludes “radical outcomes.” Don’t believe it. As Tim Chapman notes, the bill would create a [...]

So, how does CNN propose to change its image as America’s al Jazeera? By hiring more non-white liberal journalists! But of course! From TVNewser:
“Today we are committing $1 million, which will be divided equally amongst the National Association of Black Journalists, the National Association of Hispanic Journalists and the Asian American Journalists Association, to fund [...]

My column today discusses the hidden impact that the Armstrong Williams/Dept. of Ed. scandal will have on minority conservatives:
As a result of the Williams/Department of Education payoff, the rhetoric against the rest of us will get even nastier. In the name of “minority outreach,” the Republican education bureaucrats who cooked up their pathetic scheme with [...]

This is a must-read.

Sigh. Another entry for my People’s Republic of Maryland file. According to the Washington Post, the central planners and social engineers on the Montgomery County Council are in a huff because there are not enough minority firefighters. Is this because the libs are discriminating against non-white firefighters? No, it’s because a race-blind hiring and testing [...]
